Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 102 The Visitor is Not Friendly

The names were called out quickly, and apart from the congratulatory gifts from Qingyun Sect and Yanyue Lake, Lu Yang didn't remember much else.

The reason I remember Qingyun Sect is because they gave so much. The Lu family only had a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, but Qingyun Sect directly gave them a Foundation Establishment stage Red Feather Crane. It has to be said, it's always better to be rich.

Lu Yang also benefited from the Qingyun Sect's influence, which greatly enhanced the spiritual field.

Therefore, for now, Lu Yang's impression of the Qingyun Sect is still quite good. As for the considerations of the higher-ups, Lu Yang is not yet able to think of those things.

As for the Moon-Covering Lake, it's likely that not only Lu Yang remembered it, but many other cultivators did as well; they're too stingy.

A low-grade spiritual weapon is quite a lot, but it depends on who gives it to you. Is it appropriate for a prestigious Golden Core Immortal Sect to give a low-grade spiritual weapon as a gift?

Unconsciously, the image of Lin Conglong appeared in Lu Yang's mind, after all, Lu Changfeng had called him an idiot last time.

As he watched these gifts being delivered to the Lu family, Lu Yang had only one thought: he also wanted to hold a Golden Core celebration in the future. What could be as lucrative as receiving gifts?

Of course, Lu Guchu didn't accept the gifts for nothing; he also gave a sermon.

The Golden Core Ancestor's sermon was a rare and profound experience for these low-level cultivators. Seeing Lu Gu Chu preach was incredibly exciting for the guests.

On the lotus platform, Lu Guchu's robes fluttered without wind, his body surrounded by a misty wood energy and swirling true fire. The plants withered and flourished with his breath, and his heart fire resonated with the spiritual wood, his voice shaking the entire sect.

Between heaven and earth, the five elements flow and circulate, with wood and fire being the most compatible with life and the most in tune with the Great Dao.

Wood represents benevolence and life. Its roots reach deep into the netherworld, its branches touch the heavens.

Fire represents ritual and illumination. It burns away evil and refines impurities.

Wood nourishes life endlessly, fire illuminates the path ahead; with benevolence as the foundation, and clarity of mind to overcome obstacles, only through the fusion of wood and fire can the elixir of immortality be achieved, transcending the mortal realm to become an immortal.

Firewood Avenue!

At this moment, many people realized that Lu Gu Chu was cultivating the Great Dao of Fire and Wood, and everyone listened with great interest, including Lu Yang.

Although Lu Yang does not cultivate the Way of Fire and Wood, the paths of the Great Dao are all the same. Even if he only makes a connection to one or two of the Golden Core Dao, he will still benefit immensely.

Especially the Great Way of Wood. Lu Yang has three spiritual roots: metal, water, and wood. Although his cultivation method emphasizes the metal and water attributes, his understanding of the wood attribute can also nourish the metal and water attributes.

"Excellent, Fellow Daoist Lu's Great Dao of Fire and Wood is truly profound and insightful, inspiring countless understandings. This trip has been truly worthwhile!"

Just then, several figures suddenly landed, startling everyone in the arena from their reverie.

Their senses were disturbed, and they should have been unwavering in their resolve, but upon seeing the newcomer's appearance, they immediately fell silent, though their anger remained undiminished.

He wore a long white robe that covered his head, obscuring his face. No one in the vicinity would dress like this except for a Southern Barbarian priest.

While everyone was astonished by the audacity of this southern barbarian priest, who dared to venture directly into the core territory of the Lu family, they were also secretly alarmed.

The visitors are clearly up to no good. The Southern Barbarians wouldn't come to give Lu Guchu a congratulatory gift, they're obviously here to cause trouble.

Heading straight into Qingcang Mountain, could it be that the Southern Barbarians have already reached the foot of the mountain? Thinking of this, everyone became even more vigilant.

Compared to the tension of everyone else, Lu Guchu was quite calm. He had long sensed the arrival of the Southern Barbarian High Priest, but since he was a guest from afar, and no one in the entire Qingcang Mountain except him could stop the Southern Barbarian High Priest, he decided to remain calm and see what he wanted to do.

When their eyes met, the high priest of the southern barbarians frowned.

This Lu Guchu doesn't seem to have just broken through! His aura is so restrained that even Lu Guchu himself can't tell how deep it is. He must have cultivated some kind of aura-concealing technique!

The witchcraft within her body seemed to sense Lu Guchu's aura and became somewhat uneasy.

Weird!

Thinking of this, the high priest toned down his arrogance and sat down directly opposite Lu Guchu.

The high priest behind him was also a sycophant, directly conjuring a lotus platform from his storage bag. It looked like a magical artifact, but compared to this, the high priest seemed to be imitating it rather poorly.

When Lu Yang saw the High Priest appear, he was initially a little uneasy, but seeing his ancestor's calm expression, he immediately calmed down.

Instead, they were more interested in observing the people behind the high priest.

The group consisted of ten people. The High Priest was definitely at the Golden Core stage. The Southern Barbarian Sacrificial Gods had their own independent cultivation system, but the Yue Kingdom was used to this kind of description. So even if the cultivation systems were different, the power levels wouldn't differ too much.

The high priest was followed by four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. They did not conceal their auras, and compared with Lu Changfeng and his group, they were roughly the same level, letting people know that they were Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

However, they were dressed differently; two wore priestly robes, while the other two were dressed casually and looked like evil cultivators!

Hmm, they look very similar to the evil cultivators Lu Yang killed before. They must have been recruited by this high priest from the Southern Barbarians.

Behind the five, there were five more people, two dressed in priestly robes and three dressed in black, undoubtedly evil cultivators.

These five people didn't have particularly strong auras; they were probably only at the Qi Refining stage, and one of them was even weaker than Lu Yang's apparent cultivation level.

"May I ask your name, High Priest?"

Lu Guchu spoke slowly, and the high priest opposite him immediately replied, "Fengxi, Fellow Daoist Lu's Golden Core Ceremony is quite a lively affair, which makes me want to come and participate as well."

However, according to the customs of my southern barbarians, we cannot accept congratulatory gifts in this way.

Only the strong receive congratulations from others, fellow Daoist, what do you say?

They really came to cause trouble.

Everyone was now completely certain that the high priest had come to cause trouble, and it seemed he wanted to have a showdown with Lu Guchu.

To be honest, they were quite excited; they also wanted to see a battle of Golden Core cultivators.

Ideally, Lu Guchu would kill the high priest outright, then they could swarm in and kill the rest of the trash.

To be honest, seeing these guys so arrogant really annoys me.

It's just that Lu Guchu didn't say anything; otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible for them to gang up on him now.

There's no need to talk about martial virtue with the southern barbarians.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Fengxi's words are interesting. I wonder what the specific rules are."

Lu Guchu seemed unsurprised by Feng Xi's words, and simply asked about Zhang Cheng.

Feng Xi glanced at the people behind him, pointed at them and said, "It is said that the Lu family is full of talents. I have also brought some talents from our Southern Barbarians this time. Why don't we let them compete? If the Lu family wins, I will present the congratulatory gift with both hands. But if the Lu family loses, then I would like to ask my talents to choose from your congratulatory gift."

Ha! What a boastful tone!

As soon as Feng Xi said this, the Lu family's anger was immediately stirred up. At this moment, hundreds of Lu family members had gathered on Qingcang Mountain.

With so many eyes focused on him, even Yang Zhi and the others behind Feng Xi felt a chill run down their spines.

To be honest, they were also afraid that the Lu family would swarm them and gang up on them. They had come alone, and if the Lu family didn't show any martial ethics and ganged up on them, they would all die here.

If Feng Xi hadn't suddenly gone mad and insisted on coming over, they would never have acted so recklessly.

Lu Guchu smiled upon hearing this, "Oh, that is indeed very interesting. So I will grant your request, Qingren, and take the life-and-death contract."

Ah!

A pact of life and death!

When Lu Guchu said this, everyone inside and outside the square was stunned. They thought it was just a competition, so how did it turn into a life-and-death contract?

Not to mention the guests, even Yang Zhi and the others were stunned. These crazy people from the Lu family, is it really necessary to fight like this?

clap clap clap!

Feng Xi was very excited upon hearing this. "A life-and-death contract is good. Let's have a life-and-death contract. Only the strong deserve to live. We Southern Barbarians have no need for the weak."

Lu Qingren had already obtained the life-and-death contract. This life-and-death contract was not the kind of life-and-death agreement signed by hand, but a kind of formation.

Within the array's cover, there is no surrender, only life and death. It can prevent the aftershocks of battle from endangering others, and also prevent one side from escaping during the battle.

"Yang Zhi, you go."

Ah!

Yang Zhi was startled upon hearing this. Him?

High Priest of Windbreak, we're on the same side, don't mess with us.

Meeting Feng Xi's gaze, Yang Zhi wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't dare to speak.

Bitter.

The High Priest's orders cannot be disobeyed. Priest Yang Zhi stepped into the Life and Death Pact. Lu Gu Chu glanced at Yang Zhi, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and said, "Chang Feng, go."

Lu Changfeng!

Priest Yang Zhi's face was even more unpleasant. Fortunately, he was wearing a robe, otherwise, he would have been terrified.

Why would he, a mere priest, fight a sword immortal? What was his High Priest thinking? Had he done something recently that angered the High Priest, who was now trying to eliminate him?

Isn't it a bit too complicated?

He's just a lowly priest; if Feng Xi wanted to kill him, why go through all this trouble?

boom!

A flash of thunder, and Lu Changfeng had already slashed into the Life and Death Contract with his sword, the thunder exploding around Yang Zhi.

The sheep hurriedly summoned a Gu worm, a copper-skinned Gu, primarily for defense.

After barely managing to block Lu Changfeng's attack, Priest Yang Zhi hurriedly withdrew. "What a lack of martial ethics! Why did you start fighting right away?"

The High Priest of Wind Breath watched the battle within the life-and-death pact with a deep, melancholy gaze.

Through the High Priest of Wind's Breath's vision, the Southern Barbarian Sacrificial Temple, beneath a round mirror, stood a row of high priests.

The leader's aura was significantly stronger, clearly indicating that he was the chief priest of the sacrificial rites, a Nascent Soul expert.

"That's not it."

Upon hearing this, the high priests below all frowned. "The strongest person on the battlefield at that time was Lu Changfeng. If it wasn't him, could it really be Yang Tiantong? It's not that I'm underestimating him, but that piece of trash, blocking the power of the barbarian god? That's absurd."

The other high priests glanced at the one who had spoken, thinking, "They call him trash? They're really underestimating him."

"Whether it is or not, we'll find out soon. We'll send someone in the early Foundation Establishment stage and have Yang Tiantong participate in the battle. The Qingyun Sect doesn't want to get involved in these minor matters, and the Lu family, that little bug, doesn't dare to oppose our Sacrificial God Division, so they can only agree. We'll see when the time comes."

"Yes, we should also take a look at the others. That Lu Changkong seems to have some skills. Since it concerns the Barbarian God, we must find out the truth."

"Blocking the arrival of the savage god's power is of utmost importance. If they truly possess such means, it would be extremely bad news for our priesthood."
